Top should really only roam when either a) your mid is getting stomped or is getting overextended on, or b) top is getting stomped and you have a large (20 or so) cs advantage, so you can afford to leave the lane. Helping the jungle when he's invading or is invaded is an exception to this. If he needs help, you usually give it. It can result in a kill on the enemy jungle and some free buffs, which is always sweet and usually results in easy lane dominance.

Csing should be your priority in lane, only going for harass when they go for a behind lines cs (i.e. caster minion when some melee are still up), or when you know you can win an exchange and have no enemy minions really low on health. The first situation gives the first hit advantage, as their aa is being used for a cs. This also means if they retaliate, they're surrounded by your minions, so you get all the minions aa as help, while his minions have to move forward and around your minions to attack you. They're also further extended, which means you have less distance to retreat than he does. Keep in mind that every time you aa harass, you push your lane a little bit because enemy minion agro changes to you for a brief moment, which lets your minions get free hits on the enemy minions, pushing the lane. The second is more to bully them out of getting cs. This allows you to freely cs and get a gold advantage. This heavily pushes the lane, and opens you up to ganks. Wards are necessary when you start to zone.

Rule number 1. Max W, then Q, not Q then W. Brain dead statement, but I've met a few people who did the latter and not the former.
Rule number 2. Play it safe and get cs up to 6. At 6, start harassing every so often with your ult to prevent the enemy from csing unless they have a good heal (raka and the likes). Still get cs, as your ult is a quick, easy, mana efficient harass at level 6 to 7, and decent at 8. Scales off at 9 and 10, picks up again at 11. Remember that this is not your damage, but a harass. AA will outdamage R, especially by the end of the game.
Rule number 3. FARM FARM FARM AND FARM. NEVER LEAVE YOUR LANE EXCEPT FOR DRAGON, RED BUFF, AND ITEMS. When the laning phase is still going on, you need that gold. Kog is one of the best scaling AD carries in the game, so you want to play to mid to late game with him. Never forget your cs.
Rule 4. Get a skin. There's no real benefit to this, but Kog has some of the best skins in the game. I personally prefer Monarch Kog'Maw :3
Rule 5. Positioning is key with Kog'Maw. His increased range makes you want to be on the front line to harass, but it leaves you open to an initiation. You should be able to comfortably harass from behind your tanks using your R, and somewhat decently among your tanks using W. Do not do the latter unless they have no real initiation. You are HUGE damage potential, with little survivability in close range. You should not be risking the team fight for just a few AAs
Rule 6. Save the slow for when the fight picks up, not on the initiation. During a team fight, a well placed E can literally divide the enemy team, or bottle neck them. This allows you to effectively pick the enemy off at your own leisure from a distance, while they're stuck wallowing in your void slime, panicking from the slow, and usually focusing closer targets because of it.
Rule 7. Buy that skin. Seriously. The butterfly. Too stonk.
